Solution

The correct option is D 75
A taster individual has the ability to taste the chemical phenylthiocarbamide. The taster genotype is autosomal dominant while the inability to taste it is recessive. If a heterozygous taster woman (Tt) marries a heterozygous taster man (Tt), the % of taster progeny will be:
gametes Tt (mother)-->
Tt (father) T t
T TT
taster
Tt
taster
t Tt
taster
tt
non-taster
Phenotypic ratio= 3 taster : 1 non taster
Therefore, they will have 75% taster progeny, irrespective of the sex of offspring as it is not sex-linked trait. Thus, '75' is the correct option.
